The Asian long horned beetle ranges from 0.75 to 1.25 inches. They have long black and white antennae. Their Body is glossy black with white irregular spot. The long horned beetle mostly feed on hardwood trees. These beetles are mostly seen during the fall and spring seasons depending on the weather. They were introduced from China and are mostly seen in Chicago, New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Appearance: They range from 0.75 to 1.25 inches. They have long white antennae with white irregular spots on their glossy black body.
Size/ Weight/Height/: Their Size 0.75 to 1.25inches.
Life Cycle:
1.A single female egg can lay up to 35 to 90 eggs in the bark of the tree. The eggs start to hatch in 10 to 15 days. The immature larvae then tunnel under the tree bark and live off tree tissues during the fall and winter seasons. When the spring seasons starts the larvae then emerge from the “exit holes” as an adult beetle. They only stay actives during the summer and early fall seasons before their one year life cycle. At their egg stage the eggs with are an oblong shape are 5 to 7mm with both ends are concave (caved in). Then the larval stage they range to 50mm. In their Pupal stage the non white part ranges from 30 to 33mm with the width of 11mm. Finally at their adult stage their length ranges between 20 to 35 mm and their length is 7 to 12.
Reproductive Information: After feasting off of tree exteriors the Asian long Horned Beetle mate.
2.Diet, etc: The food Source for Asian Long Horned Beetle are hardwood trees such as ((Norway, sugar, silver, and red), birch, horse chestnut, poplar, willow, elm, ash, and black locust.
Why and how the Asian long Horned Beetle became successful?
The reason why the beetle became successful is due to the reproduction rate. It takes 10 to 15 for the eggs to hatch. The Asian Long Horned also causes more damage by eliminating millions or hardwood trees across America.
